Bin file

I want to Extrract something from a bin file then remove the bin file. With unix commands.
Open binfile ; rm binfile obviously does not work because it only waits for the open command to finish then just leaves whatever tool it opened sitting there confused as to who woke it up.

Lots of online source sseem to think I should have unbin which I do not have nor can I find. And as far as I can tell none of the normal archving commands do not recognize bin.

I know on Linux, my game installers use a .bin extension. But they are actual executables, not compressed archives. I think .bin is used for lots of different things on *nix. Are you sure the bin file you've got is an archive and not something else?
